Monte Bello Pizzeria - Mar del plata

Best pizza in St. Louis! The crust is thin and strong as it doesn't buckle under when you pick up a piece. Delicious.

Sorry, but we are not a fan of the ultra thin pizza crust. If that is what you prefer, then this would be an excellent place to eat.

Great pizza, awesome owners, 9.3 on the pizza scale.

How is this place even open for business? Why hasn't the health department shut this place down?It's a scary site when you pull up to the building and it looks like some kind of opium den. The siding is falling off the walls and paint peeling from the doors. Terrible vibe before even walking into the door. After you go down a flight of stairs to get to the dining room you see two tables with customers and the rest with trash and dirty plates covering them. The waitress took awhile but she cleared a table for us and proceeded to take our order. The beverages come out in very small cups with is ok if the waitress is attentive enough to refill it for you. We ordered a xtra large sausage pizza. Took a while for it to come out but it did eventually come. It had a very plain tasting sausage and the sauce tasted like it was half sugar. Halfway through the meal my wife noticed a mouse scurrying across the floor into the kitchen. That's when we asked for our check and told the waitress about the mouse. She told us that not to worry about it because they set traps and usually, in the morning there's one to throw away. Needless to say we didn't take our leftovers nor we ever return to this rat trap of a pizza restaurant. The health department has been notified as well.STAY AWAY!

My last pizza review, I said that hands down it was the best ...well I just had Monte Bello 's and this pizza has it 's own lane. Talking about pure deliciousness!! Do you know I pulled over twice on the way home!? I couldn 't resist. It 's just that good!! Worth checking out!!
